Using Send Text <Name or #>
Use Voice Recognition to open Text Messaging to the Create Message screen, with the recipient already addressed.
To launch Text Messaging and address a message:
1.Press and release the Smart Key. (Your phone displays the Say a command screen.)
2.Say Send Text followed by the name (if the recipient is saved to Contacts) or the number.
3.Use your keypad to enter the message and then press Send (left softkey). (See “Using SMS Text Messaging” on page 171.)
If you do not specify the type of number and there are multiple numbers for the name, Voice Recognition chooses the mobile number by default.
If you say Send Text without specifying a recipient or a number, your phone prompts you for this information.
